Stored in these true wine cellars, your finest vintages will develop to their full potential. The Performance 259 series has built-in versatility: build this wine cellar into your kitchen counter, or stand it on the floor in your den, TV room, or office! Also the security lock and key will keep your valuable collection protected.

Available with either a 1-Temperature Zone or a Multi-Temperature Zone.

The 1-temperature cabinet re-creates the natural deep cellar and ensures a constant optimum temperature between 55°F and 57°F. The hygrometer provides an LCD display to advise of humidity range. Built-in alarm alerts when humidity level has fallen below 50%. Water can be added to cassettes to increase humidity to optimum range of 50-80%.

The multi-temperature cabinet has a temperature graduation; the upper section (59-72°F) for red wine service and the lower section (41-54°F) for chilling white wines and champagne for service. The unit will create a temperature graduation from the top to the bottom using the two temperatures that you set as the minimum and maximum. The unit can also be used for long term storage for proper aging of your wine. The multi-temperature unit does not contain a hygrometer or a lava rock cassette.

*Capacity is based off using standard Bordeaux size bottles, using larger size bottles may limit the capacity. If you would like to store larger bottles you can easily adjust the height of any of the shelves. Additional shelves will lower bottle capacity.

Electrical Requirements: Plugs directly into a US 110 Volt outlet on a dedicated 15 AMP line.

BEST ANSWER:The specs say "Up to 165 bottles." That is an optimistic best-case estimate based on standard Bordeaux-style bottles. Any other bottle shape will decrease capacity. Although the pull-out shelves make it easier to access individual bottles, they significantly decrease storage capacity vis-a-vis the wooden shelves on which the bottles stack on top of each other. Since the dual-temp unit ships with more sliding shelves than the 1-temp, it will have a lower capacity by default. You can buy extra wooden shelves and dispense with all the sliding shelves if the added capacity is that important. It's impossible to give you a "number", as it depends on so many factors.

What is the clearance required when this unit is adjacent to a return wall? Is there a restriction clip that can stop the door at 90 degrees and will that allow the drawers to still pull out all the way?

BEST ANSWER:This unit will require 2" at the top open and unobstructed and 1/2 " space on each side. The handle is integrated or recessed in the door so it does not require extra space to open against a return wall. Yes the shelves are fully functional with the door open at 90 degrees. If the unit is not built in with cabinetry and is free standing it does come with an L-bracket that will secure it to the wall.

In mine the drawers can fully pull out with the door open at 90 degrees. Mine is mounted in a custom wood bar area and is flush with the wood trim and the door can still open winder than 90 to like 125 degrees if that helps. It doesn't swing open wildly so I've never needed a restriction clip.

I recently purchased this and installed it next to a wall - I probably have it an inch or two from the wall and the door opens 90degrees and the shelves slide out just fine. There's nothing to stop the door at 90 so I bought a small bumper to install in the wall - works just fine

Mine is completely built in. As long as the door can open 90 degrees the shelves will pull out all the way. I did not get any type of clip with it. Great unit. Had 2 infinity units prior ....both went bad within a year

BEST ANSWER:I believe so although I've not done it myself. You might have to check with Wine Enthusiast to see whether you need a different door. That appears to be the only issue. Wish I could answer more directly but I am not sure.

BEST ANSWER:All the models mentioned share the same cooling / heating system. Most of the other details vary among all the models, & you can compare them yourself. The MAIN difference that distinguishes the Perfomance 259 from ALL the others listed is the DEPTH of the unit. All the other models are 27 1/4" deep. This one is 22 1/4" deep. If you can accommodate the 27 1/4" depth, you are better off getting one of the deeper models, as the greater depth not only allows greater bottle capacity, but is also WAY more forgiving of mixing bottles of different shapes. I have used Eurocaves of both depths, and urge you to get one the deeper models if you are able to. (I currently don't have that option.) That said, they both function equally well, and if you, like me, need the shallower depth, the Perfomance 259 is the one to get.

My unit came with a plastic box of rocks (or at least that is what it seems to be). I assume this is to rest on the bottom under the wire rack to absorb excess condensation? Can't find anything in the manual or online.

BEST ANSWER:Actually, just the opposite! It is to be used to INCREASE the humidity if needed, If you look at the diagram on pg. 22 of the manual (section 1 of the English part), you will see that part "J" is labeled as the "Humidity Cassette." If you then look on pg. 34, section 7, sub-section IV "Humidity level display", the paragraph & illustration on the right describe pouring water on the Humidity Cassette to increase the humidity in the unit.

I find that it is far easier and less messy to simply take the Humidity Cassette to the sink and soak it, then shake off the surface water & slide it back under the bottom rack. The idea is that the "rocks"slowly release the humidity over an extended period of time, without standing water, which could encourage the growth of nasty things. That said, I live in NYC, and most of the year I have no need to use it, as the humidity in the cellar is OK without it.

Yes, this container of rocks does rest on the bottom under the wire. I use this to increase the relative humidity by soaking it in water and placing it at the bottom under the wire. Then I watch the humidity and remove it when it gets close the 60-70%. I have never had to remove condensation or humidity as our house is air condtioned throughout the year. While not directly answering your question, I am sure the device is there to affect the humidity, and I assume it can either add it or remove it...

If you like having Pinot or chardonnay then this cabinet is not a great choice. We have cab bottles that fit very well and the shelves roll in and out with no problem. Once you put some pinot bottles or chardonnay on a rack above or below you start to have issues. Racks do not pull out straight, they get caught on the rack above and then start to pull out crooked. I am very surprised that a company like euro cave did not add a few more inches in height to this cabinet so you could store a wide range of bottles.

PRODUCT ELIGIBILITY
This Plan covers products purchased as new or factory refurbished and manufactured for use in the United States, which at the time of purchase included a manufacturer's original or factory-refurbished warranty valid in the United States. In order to be eligible for a Plan, the manufacturer's original or factory-refurbished warranty must provide at least 90 days parts and labor coverage. This Plan provides for the repair or replacement of your product to its standard operating condition if the product fails to perform its intended functions due to normal wear and tear or a defect in either materials or workmanship, or unless otherwise stated in the Exclusions from Coverage section of this document. There is no deductible under this Plan.

Please keep this document in a safe place along with the sales receipt you received when you purchased your product. The sales receipt may be required at the time of service. It will serve as a valuable reference guide and will help you determine what is covered by the Plan. As the Administrator, Wine Enthusiast will assist you in understanding your warranty and Plan benefits from the day you purchased your Plan.

This Protection Plan does not cover shipping costs of replacement units should a defective unit require replacement.

COVERAGES
This Plan is based upon the term of coverage, product description and retail price limitations shown on your order confirmation email. This Plan will furnish replacement parts and/or labor necessary to restore your covered product to standard manufacturer's operating condition. If service is required because of a product failure during normal usage, the Administrator has the option to repair the defective product or replace it with a product of equal or similar features and functionality, though not necessarily the same brand. A replacement part or product may be new or refurbished.

Technological advances may result in a replacement product with a lower selling price than the original product. No refunds will be made based on the replacement product cost difference. The most we will pay on any single repair to your covered product or its replacement is the price you paid for the original product, excluding taxes. If we replace the covered product in its entirety, our maximum liability has been met under this contract and there will no longer be coverage under the terms of this contract. Replacement products will include a manufacturer's warranty of up to 1 year and the retailer has the option to offer an additional extended service contract on the replacement product. If the covered product is not repairable and a replacement product is not available, we will refund up to the product purchase price, excluding taxes, and this contract will be fulfilled and all obligations satisfied. Should repair parts become unavailable because a manufacturer has gone out of business, if a manufacturer no longer provides product support or all parts sources have been exhausted during the coverage period of this Plan, the Obligor and the Administrator shall be excused from performance hereunder and you shall receive a merchandise coupon for the value of the purchase price paid by you for the Plan less claims paid, if any. Replacement products may be new or rebuilt products. In no event shall the Obligor or Administrator be liable for any damages as a result of the unavailability of repair parts. In no event shall the obligation to administer claims extend beyond the term of coverage commencing upon the date of product purchase. You may be required to ship or deliver the defective product at your expense prior to receiving reimbursement or a replacement product. The Administrator owns all parts removed from repaired products or complete units replaced in their entirety. If it is determined the problem is not covered under the terms of the Plan or there is a "no problem found" diagnosis, you will be responsible for any related charges to the service center.

SPECIAL FEATURESNo Lemon Guarantee - If we have completed two service repairs for the same problem on an individual product or component, which first began after the manufacturer's warranty term had expired, and if the product or component requires a third repair for the identical problem as determined by us, we reserve the right to replace the product with one of like kind and quality, not to exceed the original retail purchase price excluding shipping, handling, and taxes. Once a covered product is replaced, then this contract is considered fulfilled and coverage ends. Preventative maintenance checks, cleaning, product diagnosis, customer education, accessory repairs/replacements, computer software related problems, and any unauthorized repairs done outside of the USA are not considered repairs for the purposes of this Replacement Guarantee.

SERVICE LOCATIONOn-site: If your product needs repair, call 800.648.6058 to arrange service. An adult of legal age must be present at the location where on-site service will occur. If you live beyond a 25-mile radius of an authorized service center, you may be required to pay additional trip charges required over the 25-mile radius. While most products can be repaired on-site, some products, due to their sensitive, technical nature, require the controlled environment of a factory authorized service center; therefore, on-site repair is not possible. This Plan does not cover labor or materials to obtain access to covered components if structural modification or repair is required. It is your responsibility to ensure that the covered product is accessible to the service technician.

IF YOUR PRODUCT NEEDS REPAIR
If your covered product needs repair or replacement for mechanical or electrical failures, you are required to call 800.648.6058 to obtain authorization prior to having repairs made. For faster service, please have your dated proof of product purchase (sales receipt) available when you place the call. All repairs must be approved before they are performed. We will not reimburse you for repairs performed without prior approval or performed by unauthorized servicers or others.

Do not return the covered product to Wine Enthusiast unless instructed to do so.

When you receive authorization for repairs, the service representative will direct you to a designated

service center. A copy of the proof of product purchase (sales receipt), and a brief written description of the problem must accompany the product. We will not be liable for freight charges or damage due to improper packaging.

If your Plan expires during the time of an approved repair or replacement, this Plan is extended until the

repair or replacement has been completed.

If your product is covered under another valid service contract and/or insurance policy, this Plan will provide coverage over and above the other service contract and/or insurance policy.

While we try to complete service as quick as possible, we are not responsible for delays caused by factors beyond our control, including but not limited to manufacturer's delays, shipment to a service facility or acts of God.

DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN LIABILITIES
Under no circumstances shall Wine Enthusiast be liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages (including damages for lost profits, business interruption, loss of data, and the like), even if any party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

OUR RIGHT TO RECOVER PAYMENT If you have a right to recover against another party for anything we have paid under the service contract, your rights shall become our rights.
